RE: j3 cub brushless
If anybody's still out there....
I made my 1st attempt at flight last week with the J-3 Cub BL & bent the shaft. I took it to LHS & the kid there stripped the setscrews on the motor trying to loosen them.
Has anybody got an old burned out BL motor or 2 that would be willing to part with? Seems cruel to pay $37 for a new motor. I'd be happy to pay any costs incurred for shipping, etc.
Thanks.

Thats too bad about the set screws being stripped..
I have a brushless motor I got from HobbyCity...and will never use
[link]http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=2046&Product_Name=TowerPro_Brushless_Outrunner_2409-12T[/link]
not sure if its a bolt on...and if the prop adapter will work...it's 1600kv so it's more powerful the the stock brushless motor...
The stock motor is easier...this might work.

RE: j3 cub brushless
Hey, Tony. Thanks for the offer.
I got a new BL motor & the tools for the set screws (1.3mm!) yesterday. I tried to drill out the setscrews & it didn't go well! So I only need a new outrunner front section for the original BL as mine has about 45 seconds on the windings & then I'd have a spare.
I liked the looks & specs of that motor but the mounting didn't look like it would fit the Cub w/o mods. Maybe that puppy would make it take off like the video! I've got a 3S LiPo I'm using on the heli & I'm tempted to reprogramm the ESC for it & give that a try!. I chickened out this morning - just couldn't bring myself to go to the park & try again. Maybe next week they'll grow back LOL
Thanks again for the offer.
